Here we go!

Day 1 of 50 days

I have about 10 people that want to do this with me, some who are going to remain anonymous and some that can feel free to post you progress on my face book page.  So how are we going to do this is the main question I am getting.  Well..... I happen to know fat loss, so your in luck!  Very first step you MUST take is to write down your goal weight or pounds you want to lose and your consequence.  Your consequence has to be SEVERE. Something that is really going to hurt to take away.   You all know mine, pretty severe.  I will do everything in my power to make sure I hit my goal... how about you? What will it cost you if you don't make it?  

Now that you have those two things, message it to me either through FB or email at: mendedbygrace@yahoo.com  

I will post on here as often as I can, the foods that I eat, the menu I have for the week and any extras that I am doing. So if you are taking part in this challenge or if you are just curious, you will get all the info you need to get you through these next 50 days.  

I have a couple of things that I love that I will share with you. One is the My Net Diary App for iphone.  I love it because I can plug in exactly what I am eating and it tells me how many calories I have consumed, how many I have left for the day and all sorts of other great information.  I don't always count calories but in major fat loss..... it's a must!!! For most of you about 1,500 calories a day will help you lose 1-2lbs a week.  This is just a GENERAL number, again that app I just listed will have you put in all your personal information and help you figure out where you need to be.  

I am following a: No dairy, no gluten, low sugar type plan.  Also my healthy fats and starchy carbs will be minimal.  I will not eat processed foods, and I can promise you if you decide to eat this way as well, you will feel amazing!   Just get through the first week of sugar and caffeine withdrawal and you are good to go!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

So are you ready? Here we go!  Gene is doing this with all of us too.
 

whew.... feelin' fat

my staple breakfast food

Breakfast!

Here is my go to breakfast. It's 1 whole egg and 1/3 cup egg whites.  Fresh salsa on top.  The oatmeal I made last night by putting 1/2 cup dry oatmeal in a bowl and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk in it, mix it and put a plate over the top of the bowl and by morning... ready to eat. Just heat if you like! I cut my oatmeal portion in half so I will have the rest tomorrow.  And my green drink (veggies in a glass)

I know what you are thinking...... no flavor.  But what you are really saying is "No sugar" and yep your right, no sugar. Get over it, your body will thank you for it!  

My breakfast - 202 calories Packed with everything my body needs and will leave me feeling full!

compared to: bowl of cheerios with milk -190 calories will leave you feeling hungry and reaching for something in an hour

medium skim latte @ caribou - 150 calories  I don't have to answer this one do I?
